Cheating Replaced by Good Intentions
That was my kind of forceful — anytime, handsome
Replacing cheating thoughts with good intentions, I vowed to be professional
The day after Ginny’s first tennis lesson, Mary was up before me. Humming a tune as she fixed her long dark hair.
“Morning.” I said sheepishly. “Erm. Sorry about last night.”
She turned. A radiant smile on her face which belied her age. I needed to remember I was a lucky man. Mary was a babe, even at forty-two.
“Why are you sorry?”
“Well. Last night. In bed. I was a bit… forceful.” I stated.
She walked over to where I lay. Bent down and kissed me hard on the lips. “Well. Let me tell you. That was my kind of forceful. Anytime, handsome.”
When I arrived down in the kitchen, Mary was flipping pancakes as usual while Shelly and Tim were engrossed in some new app they had just downloaded, and for a change, Gypsy our tom cat was sprawled out on the window sill in the sunlight after a long night of hunting.
I breathed in the scene before me.
